Phillip Didn’t Take an Uber. Part [6] 09/08/2024 (Morning thought)

Acts 5:19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said, 20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

Thus, in order to better understand the grave nature of the apostles’ escape, we must take a look at two of the life experiences of El Chapo Guzman. After he was arrested and placed in a high security jail it was discovered that he went missing from his cell, even though there were several prison guards on duty to make certain that he couldn’t escape. So, after the grim discovery, the very first question to be asked and answered was, “How did he make such a daring escape?

Until that singular question was answered logically, all other questions would be irrelevant, and thus, the Mexican authorities went about diligently searching for answers. They soon discovered that a tunnel was built under the ground, which led right up to the toilet in his cell and tracks were laid inside so that he could make an escape on a motorbike, which was also supplied in the tunnel.

Thus, even though it was a huge embarrassment to the Mexican authorities, at the very least they were able to settle that all important first question. Years later El Chapo was again caught, but this time he was extradited to the United Sates, where he was immediately placed in maximum security detention.

1st Peter 4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. 16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
